GLOGSTER

Glogster is an easy to use online multimedia poster creation tool. It is a fun and educational way to creatively express knowledge, skills, ideas and research. Glogster is an interactive visual platform that is excellent for both students and teachers. It is especially beneficial for visual learners and those with or who wish to develop spatial, musical, and interpersonal intelligences. With Glogster, students create complex and beautiful multimedia posters with text, photos, video, graphics, and drawings. The drag and drop interface is appropriate for all ages.

Glogster is great for class, individual and group projects where students skillfully and creatively demonstrate understanding, depth of knowledge, analysis and synthesis of concepts and processes via a creative process.

Teachers can use it for differentiated instructional activities, formative and summative assessment, homework assignments, sets and introductions to new topics, supplemental support, and re-teaching efforts. It also meets the technology standards set by Washington State. I will use it as a set, and for re-teaching efforts. I will have students use Glogster at least once for a group project or individual assessment, so they learn the flexibility and creative power of this tool.

An additional benefit is Glogster is a green alternative to regular posters. No paper is used to make colorful, bright, creative, and informative posters. Posters can be electronically stored for lengths of time in a safe digital environment.
